Fare thee well my dear I must be gone
And leave you for a while
If I roam away I’ll come back again
Though I roam ten thousand miles my dear,
Though I roam ten thousand miles.
So fair thou art my bonny lass
So deep in love am I
But I never will prove false to the bonny lass I love
Till the stars fall from the sky my love
Till the stars fall from the sky.
The sea will never run dry, my dear
Nor the rocks melt with the sun
But I never will prove false to the bonny lass I love
Till all these things be done my love
Till all these things be done.

And leave you for a while
If I roam away I’ll come back again
Though I roam ten thousand miles my dear,
Though I roam ten thousand miles.
So fair thou art my bonny lass
So deep in love am I
But I never will prove false to the bonny lass I love
Till the stars fall from the sky my love
Till the stars fall from the sky.
The sea will never run dry, my dear
Nor the rocks melt with the sun
But I never will prove false to the bonny lass I love
Till all these things be done my love
Till all these things be done.
